insolation

listen to the pronunciation of insolation
English - English
The incident radiant energy emitted by the sun which reaches a unit horizontal area of the Earth's surface; the rate of delivery of such radiation
The act or process to exposing to the rays of the sun for the purpose of drying or maturing, as fruits, drugs, etc., or of rendering acid, as vinegar
sunstroke
Exposure of a patient to the sun's rays; a sun bath
Solar radiation or heating received at the earth's surface The name is derived from INcoming SOLar radiATION
solar radiation on the surface of the Earth This term has been generally replaced by solar irradiance because of the confusion of the word with insulation
(Contracted from incoming solar radiation) 1 In general, solar radiation received at the earth's surface See terrestrial radiation, extraterrestrial radiation, direct solar radiation, global radiation, effective terrestrial radiation, diffuse sky radiation, atmospheric radiation 2 The rate at which direct solar radiation is incident upon a unit horizontal surface at any point on or above the surface of the earth Compare solar constant
incident solar radiation
Exposure of a patient to the suns rays; a sun bath
or of rendering acid, as vinegar
In general, solar radiation received at the earth's surface Contracted from incoming solar radiation
{i} exposure to the light of the sun, act of placing in the sun
The amount of energy in sunlight reaching an area Usually expressed in watts per square meter (W/m^2), but also expressed on a daily basis as watts per square meter per day (W/m^2/day)
Solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface
therapeutic exposure to sunlight
Incoming solar radiation
Incoming solar radiation Solar heating; sunshine
Amount of solar energy reaching a surface per unit of time
or incident solar-radiation: the amount of sunlight failing on a place
sudden prostration due to exposure to the sun or excessive heat
is the solar radiation falling upon a particular horizontal surface on or above Earth's surface
Direct or diffused shortwave solar radiation that is received in the Earth's atmosphere or at its surface
Solar radiation incident upon a unit horizontal surface on or above the Earth's surface
The incident radiant energy emitted by the sun which reaches a unit horizontal area of the Earths surface; the rate of delivery of such radiation
the amount of solar radiation (heat energy from the Sun) that reaches the Earth's surface
A sunstroke
The act or process to exposing to the rays of the sun for the purpose of drying or maturing, as fruits, drugs, etc
Incoming solar radiation; solar heating; sunshine
solar irradiance of a surface, sometimes totaled over a finite time period such as a day
(Contracted from incoming solar radiation ) Solar radiation received at the earth's surface (Rice (1991))
the amount of solar radiation received on a given body or in a given area
The solar radiation incident on a unit horizontal surface at the top of the atmosphere It is sometimes referred to as solar irradiance The latitudinal variation of insolation supplies the energy for the general circulation of the atmosphere Insolation depends on the angle of incidence of the solar beam and on the solar constant (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
Incident solar radiation The amount of direct, diffused, and reflected solar radiation (all wavelengths) that strikes a surface, measured in Langleys, a unit of heat energy equivalent to one calorie falling on a surface of one square centimeter One Btu per square foot is equivalent to 0 27125 Langley is equivalent to 1136 joules per square meter
the amount of solar energy striking a surface, measured in watts per square meter
solar radiation received at the earth's surface
The conversion, at the earth’s surface, of short wave solar energy into long wave heat energy
The solar radiant energy impinging on the earth
